I re-watched this little movie for probably the third or fourth time last night. I hadn’t seen it for many, many years and really didn’t expect it to age particularly well. I watched The Usual Suspects about three years ago and it felt completely dated and nearly unwatchable to me. I was really pleasantly surprised to find this movie still worked. This is a little movie that couldn’t have cost much at the time. Despite a shaky start with some fairly rough audio quality and a few dubbing problems here and there, this is a great little movie. It still works based on the strength of the writing. This movie is damned funny and contains one of the essential sarcastic and cynical Kevin Spacey performances. The Big Kahuna is another little gem that seems to be overlooked in Spacey’s canon and covers some of the same ground.
